We wanted to rent a double kayak for 3h (815NOK) without any guide or "specials".
The day before we asked the guys at the information if we should make a reservation, but it seems like a rental reservation is not possible, so they told us to arrive as early as possible.
We were the first car that arrived in the morning, but few minutes after us, a group that had booked a guided tour arrived.
The guides at the kayak centre decided to not care about us anymore and only prepare the group for their guided tour, we were told to wait until they finish the group.
In the beginning we were told that it might take 20min, after asking again 30min later, they told us that it will take another 30-40 min because other groups with guided tours will be considered before us.
After another 45min, we have noticed that again they will start with another group before helping us, so we decided to leave after wasting more then 1 hour waiting because it was obvious that we would not get any chance to paddle during the next 30min.
So after all, you should not try to rent any kayak at Geiranger Kayak Centre because the don't give a sh** about people who did not book a guided tour.
